Soon after, I will coordinate with the exchanges, mining pools, game operators and sysadmins that are running the old version of the CasinoCoin wallet to let them know an update is available that requires a hard fork.
The hard fork is scheduled to kick in at block 230,000, which according to the block generation rate of the last 10 days, will kick in sometime in the middle of/late next week.
1) When installing the new client, it uses the old address at once? Not creating a new one first?
2) Is there anything to be done to minimize the risks of losing my coins?
3) As mentioned in the page before about the .conf-file:
Maybe there should be an instruction in the zip-file and a good working .conf-file delivered in the zip-file also, when dowloading the wallet.
A lot of newbies think that install of the wallet is the only thing to do. The .conf is important and forgotten most of the time or they use not the good nodes in the .conf.
1. Yes, if you keep the .casinocoin hidden folder the same
2. Just backup your wallet.dat file
3. ?
